Please provide any feedback you have on traffic and pedestrian safety along the Stone Avenue corridor.
I support all the proposed safety improvements on Stone Ave. Our city needs to prioritize walkability and bikes, so that we can grow without adding vehicular traffic. Please focus on expanding sidewalks and sidewalk buffers, on slowing down the loud, noisy vehicle traffic on Stone, and on adding trees and shade to Stone Ave sidewalks.

A pedestrian signal like the one at Arby's on Rutherford? Please no. Please please please no. What happens is people hit that button and then cross as soon as they have the opportunity. They are generally long gone by the time the light turns and cars sit for minutes at a red light for an unused cross walk. You do that on Stone and traffic will back up even worse than it already is This is no kind of solution - this is a nightmare in the making. People can cross at cross streets with the signals. we don't need special pedestrian crossings. Here's a novel idea - enforce existing traffic laws. Stop red light runners and egregious speeders on Stone. Put a cop in the school zone EVERY morning to enforce the school speed limit. Stop looking for cheap yet bothersome solutions.

Please add a speed bump on Robinson St in front of side entrance to Earle St Baptist Church just like the speed bump on Townes St in front of the
quadruplex apartment building.
People zoom up Robinson St at high speed to the stop sign at Earle St during rush hour.
We need a policeman to come see from
3:30 pm until 7:00pm and write tickets.
It’s a huge problem!
Thank you

After the wonderful public meeting last week, I was thinking about how the road diet could work. I understand our numbers are currently too high for the SCDOT to consider it and traffic will have be redirected to other roads like Pleasantburg, College, E. North, and Academy. But, one comment an engineer made to me is that Stone will have to be inconvenient for people passing through (that don't have business or residency near there) in order to use other routes. Wouldn't a road diet with 1 one turning lane, 2 traffic lanes, and 1 or 2 bikes lanes make the passing-through folks WANT to go another way??? I know it's an expensive gamble, but I do feel if the road diet happened, we'd see A LOT LESS traffic on Stone Avenue!
PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE ROAD DIET!

Enforce CURRENT 35 mph speed limit on Stone - this will immediately make the road safer. And keep the radar traps coming back every 6 months or so to reinforce the seriousness of this. PLEASE - save lives and suffering.
